AGENCIA DE PLANIFICACIÓN (APLA)

What AGENCIA DE PLANIFICACIÓN (APLA) does

AGENCIA DE PLANIFICACIÓN (APLA) is an Argentine national-government planning agency established in 2007 under the Ministry of Economy and Ministry of Public Works. Its mandate is to plan and control the execution of water and sanitation service expansion works within the concession area of AySA (Agua y Saneamientos Argentinos), covering Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires and 26 partidos of the Gran Buenos Aires metropolitan region. APLA coordinates integral planning with the concession holder (AySA), publishes multi-year strategic plans (currently the Plan de Acción de Transición 2024-2026 and the Plan Director de Mejora Estratégica 2027-2031), operates an Advisory Commission (Comisión Asesora), runs public board-meeting notifications, manages citizen inquiries and complaints regarding expansion works, and issues technical guides and regulatory standards (Guías y Normas). Its headquarters are at Callao 982, CABA, and the agency is led by Lic. Fernando Corzo El Adi as Gerente General.

The agency's "product" portfolio consists entirely of planning documents, governance artifacts, and citizen-facing administrative services published through the Argentina.gob.ar institutional portal — there is no commercial software or proprietary technology platform. Core service channels include the Argentina.gob.ar Trámites platform (Trámites a Distancia), appointment scheduling via Turnos, and Atención a la Ciudadanía. As a government state entity, APLA does not sell products or services; its funding flows from national public budget allocations under the two supervising ministries, and it has no private ownership, venture capital involvement, or listed equity. The organization operates with approximately 25 employees and is wholly dependent on continuity of state funding and on its statutory role within the AySA concession framework.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• SABESP: Major Brazilian state water utility serving São Paulo metropolitan region. Operates at much larger scale and as utility operator, but functionally analogous as a state-affiliated metropolitan water service entity.

Regional players

• SEDAPAL: Peruvian state water utility serving Lima. Comparable regional state-affiliated water utility for a major Latin American capital metropolitan area, with similar planning and expansion challenges.
• Aguas Andinas: Chilean water and wastewater utility serving the Santiago metropolitan area. Comparable regional state-affiliated water utility in a neighboring country with similar large-metropolitan service profile.
• Obras Sanitarias del Estado (OSE): Uruguayan state-owned water and sanitation utility serving the Montevideo metropolitan area. Comparable as a regional state water utility serving a national capital region, though it operates as utility operator rather than pure planner like APLA.

Direct peers

• AySA (Agua y Saneamientos Argentinos): The concession holder for water and sanitation services in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area. APLA's statutory role is to coordinate integral planning of AySA's expansion works, making AySA its closest operational counterpart.
• ERAS (Ente Regulador de Agua y Saneamiento): Argentine federal regulator for water and sanitation services. Closely tied to the AySA concession structure and shares governance oversight responsibilities with APLA in the Buenos Aires metropolitan concession area.
• Subsecretaría de Recursos Hídricos (SSRH): Argentine undersecretariat for water resources within the Ministry of Public Works. Operates at a higher policy level than APLA but covers adjacent federal water infrastructure planning functions and oversees APLA's parent ministry portfolio.
• ENHOSA (Ente Nacional de Obras Hídricas de Saneamiento): National Argentine agency for water and sanitation works financing. Operates at the federal level with overlapping mandate around water/sanitation infrastructure planning and project financing, serving as APLA's national-level counterpart.
